[Q] Change/Replace TWRP Recovery with CWM (ClockWorkMod) on LG G2

Hi guys,
I just want to ask you how could I replace TWRP Recovery with CWM on my LG G2 D802 International?Are there any issue/incompatibility?
I have rooted and installed TWRP, but I have issue with installing CyanogenMod 10.2 Stable (I checked MD5 and downloaded it many times): as I understand is a problem of TWRP compatibility.

It depends on what you download. If you download the recovery.img you can use the app "flashify" to flash the recovery, or if you download a flashable .zip then flash it in recovery then reboot recovery.
There are also instructions on how to use adb and loki here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670

Mandelbrot.Benoit thanks fot your reply.
I'm interested with the flashable zip, so I just need to download it from Official CWM topic the file called "ZIP FILES - OFFICIAL - TOUCH D802" and flash it from TWRP recovery?

I'm not 100% if thats a "lokified" recovery or not. I don't think you'll hurt anything by flashing it. If you can't flash something using that recovery then there is an issue and you can flash another recovery.

I used the Flashify app from the play store to switch recoveries with no issues.

What do You suggest?
Otherwise, there is also the app called ROM Manger which should automatically flash the CWM.
The important thing is that it does not create problems between recovery.

Rooted but can not flash recovery

I have a Verizon LG g2 and I have it rooted and followed all of the steps to get cyanogen mod on my phone but I can not get past the boot loader. I tried using the command prompt method discussed in another thread but every time it fails saying it's an invalid command. what am I doing wrong??? I need simple step by step flashing for dummy instructions.

If you have superuser...
Try flashify on the market.
Download twrp 2.6.3.3.IMG (not the zip)
Or... CWM 6.0.4.4 Touch.IMG ( not the zip)
Choose flash IMG
Find the file flash and reboot...
Boom!!!
If that doesn't work you'll have to use fastboot to flash the recovery.
I can probably walk you through that if needed.

[Guide] Flash OTAs with TWRP (OS 2.1.3/ 005)

Firstly, you cannot install OTA's with TWRP. You'll have to get back to stock recovery in order to install patches.
Thanks to @eng.stk, with the recovery compiled from source, we now can flash OTA Zips from TWRP.
Download TWRP 2.8.7.0: http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=15364
Download the following OTA's and move them to internal/external storage and proceed to install them from TWRP.
OxygenOS_X_Rom.zip (003)
OTA Patch 003-004.zip
OTA Patch 004-005.zip (Uploaded by @Razertje)

Stock Recovery (Just in case if someone requires it)
- Stock_Recovery.img

I got an error when I try to flash it

It's most likely that you tampered the system and recovery partition. I uploaded the stock recovery here, flash the stock recovery, then flash to system dump, then this patch.

Well, i did a nandroid backup before getting rooted, i tried to restore my phone so i could properly do the ota, but now there is no OS installed
But my computer still detect my phone, where can i download the full rom please ?

By flashing the system dump I meant, install this zip package http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/general/ota003all20151024193-oxygenos-ota-dump-t3244996. This zip package is stock system dump bearing version 03. Then flash to 03-04 patch.

is this OTA solved the problem with microsd cards?

Can anybody help with a generic error trying to flash the stock recovery again?
No reason why just says failed. I am rooted with TWRP and trying to revert to stock to be able to OTA. Last android was a nexus 4 and been away a little while so I may be missing something.. I don't want to have to wipe all my data and such can somebody assist and refresh my understanding?

Dizzyrul3z: No, microSD card issue remains according to official forum--next OTA I bet.
I'm rooted, TWRP also errored when I attempted the OTA installed.
So to clarify, using TWRP I want to install three zips: stock rom, OTA03 (system dump), and OTA04 (update), wipe cache/dalvik. Correct?
Question: I install them all at once in TWRP, right? Will any of this erase my apps/data?
Thanks,

You need to flash to Stock recovery as well. I'll be updating the OP.

So this update is newer than the one mentioned here right ? : https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/oxygenos-2-1-2-will-start-roll-out-to-oneplus-x-today.402637/
Thanks

Just received this OTA mins ago.

Instructions:
1. Switch to Stock Recovery if you're running TWRP. But how to do it? Restore this backup from TWRP.
2. Flash the system dump available at this thread.
3. Now flash this update/patch.
4. Then fastboot flash TWRP recovery if you only need it.
Just my 2 cents, boot TWRP instead of flashing it. I personally suggest.
Code:
fastboot boot twrp_directory_of_your_pc.img
PSA: You'll need Stock recovery to patch official updates.
PS: My Memory Card is working exceptionally fine. I am using a Samsung EVO+ 32GB.

I can't restore the stock recovery.
in TWRP:
error flashing zip '/sdcard/*/oneplusx_x_stock_recovery.zip'
I also copied the zip into the TWRP backup folder, but can't select it to restore.
TWRP ist v.2.8.7.0
What am I doing wrong?
...rebooting the device from TWRP is also not working, anybody with the same problem?

Extract the recovery.img from the zip file and flash it from fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

my fault, I downloaded the stock recovery from a nother post

Thank you for the update OP.
To clarify, when you say '...stick with stock recovery, disable the apps instead of deleting them...' what exactly does that mean?

Unable to use any recoveries other then stock

I have flashed the newer firm ware but when I installed a MM rom exodus and now I wasnt able to use the recovery any more. I have tried flashing other recoveries but the only one that worked is the stock recovery

Look for hybrid twrp 3.0.2.0 and flash. Boot into recovery and reflash image. Should hold then.

Hi, did you relock your bootloader.. Check it's status.

Check Boot Loader Status in developer Mod
After this, go in your fastboot Mod and flash TWRP (Modified) Recovery.
After flashing recovery, you have to boot into recovery as well otherwise your OS will replace your recovery with the STOCK one..
after using this command,
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

use
fastboot boot recovery.img

Android Pie 9.0 root possible ??

Hi guys, I had read many posts about rooting essential phone. But those articles aren't mention if it is suitable for android Pie version. Is there anyone knows how to root my essential phone with Pie 9.0 ??

Thanks for your reply. I had read this thread. But in step 4. Once you're in TWRP, install the stock boot image and then the Magisk zip.
I wonder which boot image I should install, cause both NMJ32F & NMJ20D are not same as android P build number which is "PPR1.1806.10.091".
I will appreciate for your help.:laugh:

Download the BTS (Back to Stock) file from this thread. Extract the stockboot image from the zip file. Now you flash that file from TWRP.

Your doing the order wrong.
When you get into TWRP, flash the boot.img that matches the current build you are on, then flash the magisk zip, then reboot.

I just got a new unrooted phone and took the Pie OTA. Just to be sure I understand you, in my case, I already have the correct boot.img and can go ahead and flash TWRP, then Magisk just like on old phones, right?

That's not what I wrote
First go into settings and make sure you have the build that ends with 091.
Then from either the BTS zip you downloaded, or from the Root guide thread, make sure you have the boot.img that is tagged 091. (Personally I've been using the boot.img's that are uploaded in the OP of the Guide to root thread)
Then, go through the fastboot process to install TWRP,
boot into TWRP,
then install the boot.img,
then flash the magisk zip.
Reboot profit.
You have to flash the boot.img for the current build your running Everytime you want to flash something through TWRP.

Then magisk zip and well-being If you want app timer/dashboard

Im sorry for the inconveniences but for some reason when installing Magisk, I had to Sideload it. I'll see how come but for now just Sideload Magisk after you flash boot img, that should do the trick.

After you flash twrp, go into twrp, install boot.img, MAYBE make sure system is mounted THEN install magisk. I've read some of the red errors happen regardless so I'd just fire up the phone afterwords and see if it works.

you are flashing the boot image as system image and not as boot. I made that mistake too. Im pretty sure your phone doesnt boot to system after flashing magisk correct? Flash stock image again, go to twrp and when flashing boot image make sure you flash it to boot, not system.
